Hi teaboxers! Just a note to say I’m enjoying the box and YES drinking new teas, even if I am too absentminded to make notes about them. I should be able to mail it to AwkwardSoul on Friday morning, Saturday at the latest.

I ended up going into work for extra time today, so the teabox didn’t make it to USPS. I’m mailing it out tomorrow morning and will send Awkward Soul the tracking number then. I also replaced the box, since the old one was a bit battered.

So glad the box is doing so well. I think Terri is next but she mentioned that she is worried that there will be too many flavored teas and not enough of the plain teas she loves. So I don’t know if she would want to skip the box because of that? (I completely understand if that is the case!) Maybe you could tell her how many non-flavored teas there would be in the box? haha.

Claire — Honestly, I glanced at cupboards and added you a bit before Terri because I knew she liked the non-flavored teas and you had more of those than other people. Because I’m crafty like that. haha. I just wish I was crafty enough to know the preferences of everyone and put everyone in the perfect order.

For those who don’t already know, the box arrived on Friday! I’ve had a chance to sample a few things, & I’ll try not to hang on to the box for too long, but I have to say, it is huge, & it is filled with an amazing number of teas! 98 to be exact! I posted pics on my bloghttp://terrilangerak.wordpress.com/

Terri still has the teabox (NO RUSH!) but I have full trust in her and the post office to get the box back to me. And you guys don’t know how much I appreciate that this teabox was actually successful, since I know they are risky sometimes. SO… Since this round was so successful, I definitely want to do a second round, even if I hold on to the box when I get it for a while. But I’d like to set up the mailing list now (it will take a few weeks anyway). First I’d like to see who from ROUNDONE wants to join for round two. Please keep in mind that when I get the box, I will probably take out some teas and add teas like all of the other participants have done. Or if the box seems too overwhelming, I might take out more and make it a BIT smaller. (At last count it was 98 teas! Whoa!) BUT this will essentially be the same box if you are worried about getting repeat teas, that might happen. So for the FIRSTROUND members, reply here if you’d like to join again. If you want to skip this round, that is entirely okay too! Maybe there will be a round three? When I know who wants to join again from round one, I’ll post in a new post for round two to fill in some spots. Thank you!!

My plan is to get it back in the mail by friday. I got a little sidetracked with a few tea orders that came, the BBB Box, & life, but this week I’ll do more sampling, or at least take out portions of tea I want to sample. Anyway, I think the box is way bigger than it was when it started out!!

No, definitely take your time with it. Like I said, I just wanted to get the next shipping order set up for whenever I get a chance to mail the box… since it is random and rare when I can mail things out. I know it will take a while to see who wants to rejoin from round one and then choose other people to fill in the missing spots.

Veronica’s the only one from round one that would like to join again? If everyone from round one could let me know either way if they want to join again, just so I know the above message was seen… it’s fine if you don’t want to join this time around.

I had so much fun with the first tea box! Sadly, I am going to skip the next round because nursing school is a little overwhelming right now and I don’t want to hold the box up for everyone else. I would love to be included in any future boxes, though! Thanks again for organizing this! :)

I’ll probably skip this round, unless you really need someone to fill it out. I’m pretty loaded up with tea at this point. My guess is that if you change the heading of this group to “Here’s hoping box, now taking new members” you’ll fill up easily.

Hey everyone!
Just giving a quick update! The current box is gigantic, 12 X 16 X 5, more or less. I’ve found a box that is closer to the volume of the original box & am in the final stages of sampling & getting ready to start refilling the box. I really am planning on getting this back in the mail tomorrow! I’ll also post an update on what’s currently in the box! :)

I’d like to be somewhere next round. I’d imagine its going around again. I have around 100 unopened teas and another 150 or so opened (in various quantities) and am not able to even sample the open stuff i have (I have a no opening unopened and no ordering rule in effect). a bit much?
